SWEET SPRINGS.
A Correspondents Views Concern
ing Its Attractions.

Sweet Springs, July 15.--GCorres-
pondence. To lovers of nature and
pretty girls, Sweet Springs ought to
be one of the most attractive places In
the world. Nature has done as muck
for this resort as we could ask, and
pretty faces are abundant. Young
men are in demand, too, as observed
a majority of twelve girls at the dance
last night, and regretted that I could
not be thirteen men.
What is the matter with the Sc
dalia boys this summer? Last season
they came up here almost in body.
but they do not seem to enthuse worth
q cent this summer, and we miss
them. for there never was a gayer
crowd. Kansas City contributes more
people to this crowd here than any
other place, and the average Kansas
Cityan seems to enjoy the visit more
than anybody else, as they have no
parks up there and it tickles them al
most to death to get into the country,
and it is real refreshing to them to get
away from the gigantic operations in
trade, the prommissory capital, the
sales of real property, and the pros
perity of their own burg and come
down here for a few days. Their oc--
cupation while here is generally to
point out to US the broad way to sud-
den wealth, and to build a windy
superstructure, the magnitude
of which so astonishes the
natives that they do not credit the
story but set the narrator down as q
crank, or liar. The natives of Saline
county differ very little from ordinary
natives unless it be in the fact that q
majority of them are of good old Vir-
ginia and Kentucky stock, and they
regard man who talks in thousands,
with some suspicion. Speculation
and design are unknown TO them, and
the stories of fabulous fortunes &C.
quired in day are romances to them.
Sweet Spring Is not inhabited by ma
tives but by the best of people in the
state. l called at several of the
charming little cottages to-day and
was surprised to see such really COM
Portable little homes. Mrs. John
Campbell in particular has a sweet lit
tie place and 1 hope to be able before
long to present the BAzoo read
|ers with a picture of the
house and surroundings together
with the details of the interior and
its decorations.
The dining room walters made a.
united kick against the head waiter
to-day, and for time it looked like q
strike, but Gel. Hall with his bland
smile and eloquent tongue made them
think that Mr.. head-waiter was Just
the best fellow in the world.
